The funding situation is definitely interesting. Steve Lansdown has spent £45m ish just on a ground redevelopment. Two new stands and and extension & refurbishment for a third. Take this figure and extrapolate it and you have the cost of a full size new stadium.  If Weal really doesn't have the money I think the options are either sell the Memorial Stadium and use the money to build a basic small ground at UWE or, as you say, stay where they are and just do a tidy up 

I have hacked their server and uncovered the stadium renovation masterplan:

I have no idea whether Wael and co will build the stadium or not, but everything that has come out of the new regime seems to be that they are trying to sort out stuff that the last lot either hadn't sorted or were 'selling off SIlver within' the project in their desperation to build it

Which would confirm people's impression at the time: that Higgs was drinking in the last chance saloon having staked everything upon the new stadium. He was so blinkered about this mattering above all else that you even ended up in the conference. The pre-doomed legal challenges to Sainsburys were the last flounderings of a drowning man; sale was inevitable from the first lost legal judgement.

So with odds of 78/1, one of the companies who are already club partners and a sponsor of a stand happens to win the "top" prize of front of shirt sponsor and back of shorts sponsor.......nothing dodgy going on there then  

You would assume, perfectly reasonably, that with each sponsor having one ticket in the raffle that each sponsor could only win once.

Nothing to see here, move along please!

This is better than the Grand National.  I am clutching my SM Gauge sweepstake ticket with huge excitement.

A bit low rent compared to setting their main stand alight......

Harmless bit of fun, as long as they do their jobs well they can be prowed that they have contributed to the success of Bristol's premier football team.  They will be able to regale their gashead compatriots with wondrous tales of roofs and flush toilets.

Just another example to add to a very long list of the immaculate behaviour of the best fans in the world 

These are not proper Rovers fans; the horse punchers, bottle throwers, pitch invaders, boob cricketers, goalkeeper punchers, pub smasher-uppers.

None of them.

There are only two proper Rovers fans and they have the great good sense to post here amongst people without a string of ASBs on their CVs: In the Net and Miadhenny.

Am I right? 

Yes, were you the clever bloke at the back then?

I never quite got non-Euclidean gas funding models, something about hyper-leverage and a million becoming a billion in a very strong gravitational field.

Gas Logic. Scientists have been trying to do the maths on that for decades and still non the wiser. It's one of life's great predicaments.

I actually took Advanced Gasonometry as an option at college. I don't remember all of it but a typical question was:

Away Games:

3,000 travelling gasheads arrive at Wycombe (three part question, 12 points available)

a) If the away capacity is 2,500 how many fans are locked out, and how many is this reported as being in the Bristol Evening Post (2 points each, 4 points in total)

b) How many police horses will be punched after the game if (i) Rovers win (ii) the game is drawn (iii) Wycombe win (1 point each, bonus point if all three answers are correct, 4 points in total)

c) How many sheeds will have been in the home end if  (i) Rovers win (ii) the game is drawn (iii) Wycombe win (1 point each, bonus point if all three answers are correct, 4 points in total)

Argyle fan I works with begs to differ, both their first choice central midfielders have been missing for the last six weeks, one injured, the other was recalled by Palace.

Both are now back.

Different opinions, I haven't watched them but know several people who go to most games and that's what they tell me.

You get posts here where somebody comes on saying X had a shocker and it sounds like they were at a totally different game to you.

The fact they had a form slide is neither here nor there, they won last night and are on the same points as the Gas. Only a 2 goal difference is keeping the horse punchers in the top 3.

They, Portsmouth, and Accrington are the form sides who have closed what was a fairly chunky gap on what was initially Oxford and was then Plymouth.

Plymouth and Oxford have both been on the slide.  The autos very much look like Northampton (obvious) and two from Pompey, Accrington and the Gas.

Way to go yet. Plymouth and Accrington breathing down their necks, and don't forget they have spectacular form for taking a seemingly impregnable league position and watching it all turn to shit in the last few games.

Plymouth are hardly "breathing down their necks"; they were top at Christmas and since then have been on a serious slide.

It turns out that their manager, Derek Adams, plays the exact same players in the exact same formation week in week out and the other teams now know how to counter this.

That sounds very familiar, thought I.

Bastards 2-0 up,after 20 minutes.

They're going up this season; may as well get used to it.

From the Bolton forum:

We're likely to be in the same league as Bristol Rovers? The same Bristol Rovers that were in the Conference last season? We are well and truly ****ed.

So goodbye, then,

Apparently the Wonga loan and the Directors' loans have been repaid.

No doubt Sainsburys' legal expenses will be next on the list, as the verdict is supposed to be out sometime this month.

And you'll probably go up.

Hopefully at the expense of Plymouth.

Is this where i post my thoughts on the Gas or should i start a new thread ?

I`m not sure. What`s everyone else doing?

The accepted rule is that if in any doubt at all whether your post deserves a new thread to be started then you should always start a new one to be on the safe side.  You otherwise run the risk of hijacking the existing thread for which no-one will thank you and may actually risk your being banned from the forum.

People finding you a nice guy is a prerequisite for being a conman.

Banjo Island sounds like one of those places where if you drive through at any hour of the day or night you can play the "spot the dressing gown" game as there will always be somebody going to the shops wearing one because getting dressed is so much effort.

Without scrolling back has this been done before?

 

I've just realised why they didn't buy Bolton when that club was on the market at the same time: they couldn't afford £7.5m.
